This commotion clearly means something big is coming!
Sheng Jiu wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing them.
She could only grip the doorknob tightly.
Soon, an overwhelming expanse of greenery swept over Sheng Jiu, and after looking at it for a while, she felt as if her eyes were turning green.
The towering trees that once seemed so majestic now appeared friendly and welcoming.
However, the sky was filled with lush greenery, even the large trees were enveloped within it.
Xie Yi muttered under his breath, "Damn it, why are they doing it again? When will they ever stop?"
Shang Ying's arm had turned to steel, ready for battle at any moment. Hearing Xie Yi's words, she sneered, "If they could be finished, the world would be at peace!"
After the overwhelming greenery arrived, no one made a move for the time being. Sheng Jiu also kept a close watch on their surroundings, not daring to miss the slightest movement.
However, apart from the sky being obscured by greenery, nothing else changed for the time being.
Snap!
A sudden, unusual noise rang out beside her.
Sheng Jiu was so startled she almost opened the door and went back inside!
However, she managed to steady herself, gripping the doorknob tightly, as if only this could give her a sense of security.
Snap snap snap!
After the initial noise, more sounds followed.
Sheng Jiu finally saw where the sound was coming from.
From the sky, or rather, from the dense greenery, items were falling continuously.
The steel on Ares's arm instantly transformed into a steel umbrella, which then sheltered Sheng Jiu's head: "Little Boss, be careful not to get hit, or you'll feel a burning sensation."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu quickly pulled Ares aside.
His steel arm transformed into a small, independent umbrella, sheltering Sheng Jiu's head.
At this moment, Ares didn't have an umbrella, but his teammates all had small umbrellas.
Leaving the other person exposed, Sheng Jiu felt she couldn't stay under the umbrella with a clear conscience.
So, seeing Ares about to leave, Sheng Jiu reached out and grabbed his silver-white combat suit.
Sheng Jiu's movements were small, and even her strength was minimal.
But Ares sensed it the instant her fingertips touched the combat suit.
A keen sense of the five senses is key to perception.
At the same time, it was also because he was too sensitive to the presence of other people that Ares noticed as soon as Sheng Jiu reached out to touch him.
His body stiffened instantly, and he dared not move. He wanted to walk, but he was afraid that if he moved too much, he would hurt Sheng Jiu's fingers.
If he doesn't leave, it won't look good for the two of them to be crammed together under one small umbrella.
Ares couldn't even imagine how exciting it would be to have two people's breaths intertwined in a confined space.
Ares hesitated for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I'll hold up another umbrella."
The steel they held up were their weapons, and their size was actually quite limited.
This is why Ares only held up a small umbrella, just big enough for one person to stand on.
The same applies to the other teammates.
Because they'll also turn into weapons to attack.
Hearing the commander's words, Xie Yi shouted, "Commander, if you hold up another umbrella, are you going to fight hand to hand later?"
The others, being older, sensed the unusual atmosphere and remained silent, some looking at the sky, others at the mutated plants.
Xie Yi, being young, often spoke without thinking.
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Ares glared at him, but before he could say anything, he felt fingers tugging at him from behind, the pressure seemingly increasing.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu realized that if Ares opened the umbrella again, he would have no weapon to attack. She quickly tugged at the corner of his combat suit, saying, "Come in! You've already been hit twice. If you can't dodge, I'll go back."
Sheng Jiu had a way out, so if possible, she didn't want to hold Ares and the others back.
Ares was actually embarrassed to share a small umbrella with Sheng Jiu, and hearing her words, he instinctively didn't want her to go back like that.
So, he stiffly turned around.
As he entered the umbrella, Ares intentionally kept his distance.
However, the space was only that big, and with the slightest movement, he was outside the umbrella.
Thud!
Sizzle
A fruit falling from the greenery landed on his back, raising a wisp of white smoke.
The combat suit was extremely heat-resistant.
So, even though a puff of white smoke appeared, the suit didn't tear.
Sheng Jiu watched this amazing scene, already envious of the suit.
As for her being so close to Ares, their arms practically touching?
In a moment of crisis, Sheng Jiu had no energy to pay attention to such things.
Most of the time, what she was thinking was simply to open the door and leave, safety first.
However, she didn't want to just take a short trip and go back empty-handed.
So, Sheng Jiu tried her best to remain calm, while also checking on the fallen fruit: "What are those?"
She wasn't in a hurry to ask the system, so she asked Ares in a low voice.
Ares had just been hit on the back by a Interstellar Date. Although his combat suit protected him well, but the scorching heat still slightly burned him.
It didn't hurt, but it was hot.
He felt the heat on his back quickly travel from his shoulders to the arm that was pressed against Sheng Jiu's, causing the temperature of his arm to rise.
When Sheng Jiu spoke, her warm breath, carrying a faint fragrance, slowly drifted to Ares's nose.
He could clearly smell that it was the smell of food that Sheng Jiu had picked up from cooking lunch.
Ares's senses were too acute, amidst the aromas of the food, he detected a subtle fragrance unique to Sheng Jiu.
It was a very faint scent, yet remarkably distinctive.
Realizing what he was thinking, Ares's ear tips turned uncontrollably red.
After Sheng Jiu asked her question and received no answer, she turned her head to look at Ares: "Ares?"
A soft call pulled Ares back from his daze.
Realizing himself, he felt a pang of annoyance.
With Interstellar Dates right in front of him, who weren't particularly dangerous but were quite persistent, why was he distracted?
After adjusting his breathing, Ares turned his gaze outside and spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "The Mutant Interstellar Dates reproduce very quickly. Under normal circumstances, their fruits can be made into various delicious foods and can also be used in medicine. However, after mutation, they reproduce even faster, are more aggressive, and the temperature of their fruits exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, which can burn people at any time. However, the fruits that fall to the ground are not aggressive, but the temperature is still very high until they burn out inside."
Upon hearing that there were such amazing plants, Sheng Jiu couldn't help but ask the system curiously, "Can we handle this?"
After asking the question, Sheng Jiu thought of something else and asked curiously again, "By the way, what are the uses of Interstellar Dates? Ares said they can be used in medicine. Is it the main extract of the Gene Nourishing Liquid?"
